Orchard Grass (Cocksfoot) (g3) IgE
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
This test quantifies an individual’s IgE response to orchard grass (also known as cocksfoot). Allergen‑specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing and may be preferred in some clinical situations. However, a positive test result only indicates sensitization to the allergen; many IgE‑sensitized individuals may not develop symptoms upon exposure. A diagnosis of allergy should only be made by a trained provider following a full clinical evaluation.
